These bran muffins made with flax and applesauce are my favorite breakfast muffins. This recipe was handed down from my mom. Add some raisins for a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ½ cup applesauce

  • ¼ cup canola oil

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1 cup natural wheat bran

  • 3 tablespoons ground flax

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 cup milk

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

  2. Mix together brown sugar, applesauce, canola oil, egg, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl.

  3. Mix flour, bran, flax, baking soda, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add bran mixture to applesauce mixture. Add milk and stir until thoroughly combined. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 11 to 13 minutes.

Cook’s Note

I use single-serve 4-ounce applesauce cups for convenience, so I always have some on hand.
